Alps, I don't know if you have read Phil's post but if you do you will understand why the club have been caught out. It is fantastic news and I hope it may put an end to having shirt sponsors on the front.

I think i may go and nick the 2 shirts i bought my daughters and put them on E-Bay. it would be interesting to see if i got a good profit

MikeMorton ReadingPFC, not 'Pompey in Reading' by any chance Lol

[Comment From BlueJay BlueJay : ] Thats what I was thinking Mat. They cant have a very strong case if they are now scrambling to give evidence. Next court case will be against HMRC for preventing us moving forward and possibly ruining the coming season! Don't they watch the movies, they always bring in last minute evidence to give an advantage.

you should tell them that your mate is a court clerk and he has just txt you to say that Storrie has just asked if he can turn Queens evidence

No problem , but a bit risky asking a question that comes from my addled brain

surely you could have replied with your thanks by a PM

Would a criminal enquiry being actioned stop the proceedings?

and with luck the club will be riding high when the new stock arrives and fans will be gagging to buy them......and if we happen to get to Wembley again!!!!!!!!!

to be fair, they are still trying to repair the puncture on their tandem

Did they say for how long it is likely to be adjourned, how about until next august

When you have kids and they want one , you will then understand the pressure of them being out of stock.

Has a personality disorder Richard Richard lol.......wasnt one of Rick Mayalls numpties called Richie Rich?

I can see your point, but we don't know when the new order for the shirts went in. Making a shortage always makes the sales increase, you just see the clamour now that there are none on the shelves. it will be like trying to get a buzz Lightyear in the run up to Xmas (I can't remember how long ago now, that craze started)

That would explain the case that Umbro do not have the material, and have had to order more to get them made.

I was told (not sure if true) that Umbro don't have any of that material in stock as they were surprised how successful the shirt was. I assume the club looked at past sales of new kits and estimated from that.They had the figures and would be foolish to over order. It shows that fans in general prefer no shirt sponsor and that the new kit is smart to all ages. Well done the club, The kit man would have got the teams kit sorted and would have had a separate order.

Not enough for me. We will have their brats telling our kids for generations to come that they have won the FA cup twice and were unlucky not to beat Chelsea and were robbed of playing in europe. Let them be expelled from the league and have to crawl their way back up.That would be fair to offset their glory years. Although im tinged with sympathy for merovingian ,Mackrill etc though

Patred |I recall is friends with Webster the ex goal keeping coach at SMS and so has contacts in the game. I see quite a few fans who seem to have an agenda against the new chairman. I do admit that the staff are less comfortable to talk about what is going on, but that may be more professional. Some of the old guard seem to have an axe to grind, no more perks, tickets etc being given out to anyone. I doubt the FL would be dishing out a letter against our club, to all the others.

there is nothing like a historian scorned..........only kidding Duncan. I don't see why NC would be thinking of sacking the manager now, when patently it would have been best to do so preseason to let the new man settle in. I have no doubts that if we are not in the position to go up by Xmas AP will be gone.I suspect the majority of fans would feel this then anyway.

So if the CVA is agreed , they have a new owner who has passed their FPPT the embargo still stands? If so how long for and why

Do you think that there is a lot of self interest and the PL clubs may well help fund Pompeys case. The reason for this is that if the HMRC win on the image rights case, that will cost them all a lot of dosh?

I think you will find all that is in place as Merovingian said that Chanrai was going through FPPT. Therefore they will hit the ground running if they get away with it. I don't feel confident that things will turn out the way it should do. No surprise there though that I feel negative

Stu, the person you spoke to at5 the club should be careful talking out of turn to you, who then broadcasts it on here.NC has tightened up any leaking of information to make the club more professional. People who used ot freely give info , are now very nervous to do so.

Sadly the club missed a trick by not getting an option to sign him when we took him on loan
